Our basic premise is that it takes a senior to help a senior get more out of life. We feel that all seniors are interesting and they have much to share with others.

That's where our Shepherd's Center of North Dallas founded in 1994 comes in. We are based on and part of Shepherd's Centers of America, a national organization begun in 1972 by Dr. Elbert Cole and a coalition of twenty five churches and synagogues in Kansas City, Missouri. From that beginning, the concept spread from coast to coast. People of all faiths work together in Shepherd's Centers to help older adults sustain and celebrate life.

Our North Dallas mission states, we are an interfaith organization committed to empowering persons over 55 to experience SOCIAL, HEALTH, and INTELLECTUAL GROWTH and to REMAIN FUNCTIONAL in their community.
